Repetition Lyrics

Artist: David Bowie
Album: Lodger

Johnny is a manAnd he's bigger than youBut his overheads are highAnd he looks straight through when you ask him how the kids are

He'll get home around seven'Cause the chevy's real oldAnd he could have had a cadillacIf the school had taught him rightAnd he could have married Anne with the blue silkblouseHe could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

And the food is on the tableBut the food is coldDon't hit her

"Can't you even cook?What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?"

Well Johnny is a manAnd he's bigger than herI guess the bruises won't showIf she wears long sleevesBut the space in her eyes shows through

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouseHe could have married Anne with the blue silk blouseShows throughShows throughShows through
